Can phobias be inherited and passed down from parents?

Dear,

Our phobias are of something new, this brain is always afraid of facing anything new. 

And we never seen death so it is afraid of it greatly, and whatever seems to bring death looks deadly to us and become our phobia. 

And people around us continuously keep warning us to beware of anything which can be threat to our lives so 

yes parents are one of the source to pass down phobia. 

Whatsoever is new, the brain will be afraid of it. And the brain will greatly welcome whatever is already contained in the past. It will want the patterns of the past to continue into the future. 

You see we said that the brain is always afraid of that which it has not experienced. Whatever is new will terrify the brain. All of you sitting here, are afraid of death. Am I right? Now how many of you really know death? Nobody. Because to know something really you must be in contact with it. You must have a personal taste of it. That none of us have. Right? So all we know of death is coming from the outside, some images that time and space have given to us. Something that we have seen in a movie, or in the locality, or in the house. None of us really know death and are still afraid of it. Isn’t that funny?
